The Math

Stangs' QB, Michael Faulds is expected to have a big night against York...

The numbers are as follows:

347 - yards to break Ben Chapdelaine's OUA passing record

372 - yards to 10,000 for his career

827 - yards from equalling Matt Connell's all-time CIS mark

??? - yards Mike might throw for tonight

Breaking some big marks would be nice for the first class pivot, but one of those feel-good-about-ourselves type of wins would be nicer. We shall see what happens? Really tho, the Stangs need to feel good about themselves again, and tonight would be the perfect time to start. It could also get worse. It's up to them. But the Queen's game looms, a psychological milestone for both clubs.

/A\ News Sports is live tonight from TD Waterhouse Stadium.

Mickey Donovan is on Da Hook this Saturday, 5:30 pm at http://am980.ca/

Show me da tix

I love giving stuff away. Congrats to Rob White. He listened to the Hook and won tickets to tomorrow's Redskins/Lions game, the 20th straight loss for the Detroit footballers.

Thanks to Charles Patterson, friend of the Hook.

As well...

Shoutouts to Mickey Donovan, Julian Sanchez and Daniel Erlich. All stopped by the show on Saturday.

Donovan was there, in Guelph, for Saturday afternoon's soon-to-be legendary showdown between the Stangs and Gryph's. Western won by the skin of it's teeth. Check the highlights somewhere, anywhere. Trailing by a point, Michael Faulds loses the handle on the ball with seconds to go, only to have Nathan Riva recover it. That set up Darryl Wheeler's game winning field goal. Riva guested on the program on Friday. So did Justin Dunk, Guelph's superstar QB who looked like he was ready to jump off a bridge at the end of Saturday's affair. You could feel his hurt. He thought he had it. What was almost his first win over those bastards from Western in over two years became yet another defeat at their dirty hands, and one that stings even more considering his Gryphons had game in their favour until that final, awful second.

Oh well, there's a winner and a loser in just about everything we do. Guelph should be proud of it's efforts on Saturday. And hey, if it plays like that over the final 4 games of the regular season, 3 wins are probable. Then so is a berth in the playoffs where revenge and yet another crack at the mighty Mustangs can be had.

Dunk - A Quarterback, had more yards rushing than anyone on the field.
Faulds - A legend, broke the OUA record for completions.
McCory - A linebacker, actually scored a touchdown

With Dunk at the helm, Guelph's last win over Western, 31-17 on Sept 22, 2007 at TDW Stadium (Week 4 of the season). The two clubs would meet again later that fall in the Yates Cup.
